5-Minute Quinoa Recipes By What To Eat Published Sep 16, 2014 Today’s guest blogger is Food Network star Melissa d’Arabian, who joins Recipe Rehab and Everyday Health for the Brown Bag Challenge! Quinoa is a little like kale — it raced into our lives with flourish and fanfare, and we went from not being able to pronounce quinoa to it being available at even small neighborhood grocery stores. What’s so great about quinoa? Here’s the plan: Make a large batch of plain quinoa and then keep it in the fridge, cooked and ready to go for super easy recipes all week (because if brown-bagging is a huge hassle, you might give up after a day or two, which I don’t want!). Now that you have your quinoa ready to go, you are less than five minutes away from any of the following portable lunch ideas:

Classic Rack of Lamb Recipe I live for lamb chops. Juicy, tender, rare (please please give me rare), deep reddish pink, browned, crusty, herbed, fatty goodness. So when my father sent me on a mission to make rack of lamb (what? 8 lamb chops in a row?) Beneath the recipe I’ve included links to rack of lamb recipes from other food bloggers, and a recipe for a breaded herb crusted version from chef Gordon Ramsay that my father likes. The cooking time depends on how big your rack of lamb is, and how rare you want it cooked. Ingredients 1 or more Frenched* lamb rib racks with 7 to 8 ribs each (1 1/2 to 2 pounds for each rack, figure each rack feeds 2-3 people) For each rib rack: 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt Pepper 2 Tbsp olive oil *Typically you will buy a rack of lamb already "Frenched", or cut so that the rib bones are exposed. Method 1 Rub rib rack(s) all over with mixture of rosemary, thyme, and garlic. Yield: 1 rack serves 2 to 3 people.
Stir-Fried Vegetables with Chicken or Pork Recipe twice-baked potatoes with kale As I do every year, I woke up the morning after Thanksgiving with dueling urges to consume pie for breakfast as well as to repent with an endless sequence of brothy vegetable soups until I no longer dreamed of pumpkin cheesecake, cranberry caramel almond tarts and chocolate silk. I vowed make the wholesome side triumph this year, however, yet somewhere along my righteous path to eating kale salad for breakfast, lunch and dinner, I remembered that kale salad tastes absolutely nothing like pie and that was basically the end of that. By dinner that night, we were digging into terrifying heaps of spaghetti and meatballs at Carmine’s, followed by overstuffed chocolate cannolis. There wasn’t a ribbon of kale in sight. The inspiration came from a version on Food52 created by the blogger behind Brussels Sprouts for Breakfast who had served these, I think rather brilliantly, as a side to her family’s surf-and-turf Christmas Eve tradition. Serves 6 as a side; 3 as a hearty main
Use Your Cast Iron Pan and a Tortilla to Make World Class Bar-Style Pizza in Under 12 Minutes With the right technique, regular flour tortillas make excellent thin-crust bar-style pizzas. [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] I've gotta tell you that in the catalog of easy, cheat-y pizza recipes that start with some form of pre-baked bread base, flour tortilla-based pizzas ranked pretty low on my list. Well, I'm happy to tell you that all that has changed and I'm now going to take the position that given the proper technique, a couple of tricks, and the aid of a cast iron skillet, flour tortillas are actually the best way to make quick thin-and-crisp, bar-style pizza at home, producing results that are worlds better than any frozen product out there, and a good deal better than the majority of delivery options as well. In fact, I'd even go so far as to say that this technique compares pretty favorably against honest-to-goodness, 100% made-from-scratch bar pies, and that's saying a lot. Here's how to do it. What NOT to do: Use a Baking Stone First of all, there's the preheating time.
